Microsoft has announced a new plan for users using older versions of Windows 11 (such as 22H2 or 23H2). The company has stated that it considers the 24H2 version to be stable enough and has started sending automatic updates to eligible devices. While this update will affect individual users, it will not impact corporate-managed devices. Here are the details…
Why is the Windows 11 Update Mandatory?
Although Microsoft claims that Windows 11 24H2 brings performance improvements and new features, the initial releases of the update experienced significant issues, including gaming performance problems and HDR errors. As a result, many users were hesitant to install the update.

Microsoft argues that older versions may create security vulnerabilities and that making the update mandatory is essential. Users can delay the update for up to five weeks, but after this period, the system will automatically transition to the Windows 11 24H2 version.
How to Postpone the Update?
- Open the Settings app.
- Go to the ‘Windows Update’ section from the left menu.
- Find the ‘Pause Updates’ option and select the delay period (up to 5 weeks).
While Windows 11 24H2 is said to bring performance improvements, the issues experienced during early updates have made users wary. The lack of an option to skip the update has also raised concerns.
